The two agencies have very different cultures and missions. The Forest Service seeks to balance nature with commercial interests -- mining, timber and recreation -- on the lands it oversees. The Park Service focuses much more on keeping the parks pristine and worries about environmental degradation on its turf. However, since the parks are there, in part, for the public to enjoy in some fashion, the Park Service has to balance nature with invasive interests.
